Has anyone ever heard of or seen a Hollywood resonator guitar made by N.W. Schireson in Los Angeles? Does anyone have an idea of how much a dealer would pay for one of these? I know someone who found one of these and would like to sell it. From what I've found so far this maker was sued and put out of business by National in the 1930s so I would assume that few of these were manufactured. I want to buy this guitar but not sure how much to offer. Any estimate would be helpful. I know that some of these featured some nice inlays and such but this one seems to be a more basic model. Below are pics and the patent.
